Re: Achieving CWD
...as far as CWD, Bill, I have a plumb bob I hang on a hook centered on the toe-saver weight stop. It's pretty simple, just a steel fishing leader, 24" long, with a 1 ounce pyramid sinker on one end.

Re: Achieving CWD
Hi Bill! I'm pretty anal about my set up. I level my tripod, with the head off. I've long done that with my AVX mount, and now with my GM811GHD. The idea is to Start off with the base plumb to the

Re: Permanent Pier Parking... behavior seems wrong
David, you are correct. Paul K caught my error last night and set me straight. I apologize. I was wrong to say it was different between the G-1 and G-2. There is Warm Start, Warm Restart, and Cold

Re: Permanent Pier Parking... behavior seems wrong
That is how I have it setup now.? Just did another verification test and I am getting a prompt now regarding boot sequence.? Thanks for all help. Think I learned more today with this system then the

Re: Permanent Pier Parking
Russ park position and it did. Now, I powered off the mount (while waiting for clouds to go by) and powered back up 30 minutes later. Also you don't have to power down the mount - you can either leave

Re: Permanent Pier Parking... behavior seems wrong
Hello Russ, The way you start from inside is about the same I do with my G11G mount powered by a WiFi controlled outlet (Kasa brand) which I can activate from my iPhone. To get the Prompt from the

Re: Jan29th POD Shipment
Hi Brian, I'm sure I can complete it in 12 months, but depending on clear skies, it could be as little as 9 months. The Herschel 400 is one of the Astronomical League Observing Programs. I'm still

Apologies, I have just realized, thanks to Paul K's knowledge, that the Gemini-1 also has offered all 3 boot options, same as the Gemini-2: Warm Restart Warm Start Cold Start I never knew that! I

Re: Permanent Pier Parking... behavior seems wrong
What you described is correct and I had my system set at Warm Start instead of Warm Reboot.? Think I'm going to change my system to prompt first, that way I can select the appropriate restart.?
Re: Permanent Pier Parking... behavior seems wrong
Russ, I think I followed your steps. Is this listing of the steps right? You have a Gemini-2. (G-1 has no option for Warm Restart) Put mount at CWD. G-2 is off. You power on G-2 the first time. Boot

Re: Permanent Pier Parking
Russ, If you want to restart the mount anywhere other than at the CWD position, you need to use Warm *Restart* , not Warm Start. Warm Start expects the mount to be in the CWD position when you select

Re: Permanent Pier Parking
Problem:? I used Warm Start tonight and as usual had my scope parked at CWD.? I can slew the scope anywhere and when I say park at CWD, it does. Now, I then slewed the scope to point East and

Re: RegiStar software
The plugin is included with CCDInspector, but you can buy it separately for less than half the price. Just look for CCDIS/p plugin download. Regards, -Paul

Re: RegiStar software
Thanks Paul...yes I've been using CCDstack for quite a while now. From what I see, to use the plugin you also need CCDInspecter, Right? If I can't get RegiStar going again, I may look into that...

Re: RegiStar software
Ah, yes, I understand. If you decide to stay with CCDStack, you may want to try the CCDIS/p CCDStack plugin (full disclosure: I wrote it) to do the same type of alignment, rotation and even scale
